A Meditative Gesture
I was born in Fujian, China in 1977. I moved to Hong Kong with my mother in 1984. When I first moved there, I couldn’t understand Cantonese or English, so I had to drop two grades and started from kindergarten. The language, my age, and my identity made me feel different than everyone else, and […]

Domestic Demolition
Born into a place is one case. Living there means choosing it and adapting to it. I am Loredana Longo. I was born in Sicily and live there today, a beautiful place of strong character, full of contradictions like the south of Italy and the south of Europe. As an artist, I feel this tension. […]
Cosmologies beyond the White Square

A Sensory Experience
I see my work as a process of a constant production of the self. I work with different levels of my identity: nationality, gender, age, education, as I would with tools or instruments.

Chance Evolutions
Lindsay Cuff: When I look at your body of work, there seems to be an explicit sense of movement from one state to another. The figures seem to hang in a suspended moment, as if, instead of trying to capture something as it is, you capture it as it is becoming. The process of transmorphing […]
